(Testimony of Sebastian F. Latona)

Mr. Latona.
That is right it would take more than just the finger area of the hand to hold on to it.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Mr. Latona, did you prepare at my request a series of photographs for transmission by me to the New York City Police Department--- photographs of finger and palm prints found on some of the evidence we have been looking at?
Mr. Latona.
I furnished you photographs of all of the remaining unidentified latent prints from these cartons.
Mr. Eisenberg.
And also did you furnish me a photograph--just of the remaining unidentified prints?
Mr. Latona.
No; including the ones which I identified.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Did you also furnish me with a photograph of the two prints you identified--which parenthetically were the only two identifiable prints--on the brown wrapping paper bag?
Mr. Latona.
Yes.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Which is Exhibit 142. And of the lift from the weapon 139?
Mr. Latona.
Yes; I did.
Mr. Eisenberg.
And you also furnished me with photographs of the finger and palmprints of Lee Harvey Oswald----
Mr. Latona.
Yes.
Mr. Eisenberg.
As transmitted to you by the Dallas office of the FBI?
Mr. Latona.
Yes.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Can you identify these as the photographs you furnished to me?
(Discussion off the record.)
Mr. Eisenberg.
Have you identified the envelope marked "two photos Box D"?
Mr. Latona.
Yes; I have.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Mr. Chairman, may I have that admitted as 655?
Mr. Dulles.
Yes.
(Commission Exhibit No. 655 was marked and received in evidence.)
Mr. Dulles.
I think there ought to be some cross-identification inside the envelope. Because obviously if you take that envelope and put anything in it, we ought to have the others identified properly.
Mr. Eisenberg.
There are two photographs within this. Let the record show there are two photographs within this envelope, marked "7" and "13," and I believe these are the only photographs so marked. Each photograph is marked with an individual number, so these are the only two photographs in the entire set marked "7" and "13."
Mr. Dulles.
Excellent.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Now I have an envelope marked "10 photos Box A." Have you identified these photographs Mr. Latona?
Mr. Latona.
Yes; I have.
Mr. Eisenberg.
May I have these photographs admitted as group 656?
Mr. Dulles.
It shall be.
(Commission Exhibit No. 656 was marked and received in evidence.)
Mr. Dulles.
How many enclosures in that?
Mr. Eisenberg.
There are 10 enclosures and numbered as follows: 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35.
Mr. Dulles.
There is no 33?
Mr. Eisenberg.
No, sir.
Mr. Dulles.
It shall be admitted as Commission Exhibit----
Mr. Eisenberg.
656.
Mr. Dulles.
That is 656 with the enclosures as noted and identified.
Mr. Eisenberg.
I have here photographs--an envelope labeled "Photographs, Fingerprints, and Palmprints, Lee Harvey Oswald." These are accurate reproductions?
Mr. Latona.
They are.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Mr. Chairman, with your permission I will later put sub-numbers on these.
Mr. Dulles.
Seven numbers with seven enclosures?
Mr. Eisenberg.
No, sir; three enclosures.
Mr. Dulles.
With three enclosures?
